EDITORIAL AND FEATURES An Independent Newspaper Issued Every Afternoon Except Sunday Paul V. Hester Editor and Publisher EMINENT JURIST GONE INTO ETERNITY William R. Day, former Secretary of State and former Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court, whose death is mourned, had his talents brought into play by the shrewd insight of the lamented William McKinley. As President, Major McKinley called Mr. Day to the Assistant Secretaryship of State. John Sherman, the venerable Ohioan, was then nominal Secretary of State, but because of the infirmities of age was incapitated. Mr. Day became the real Secretary of State, in essential activities, and his brilliant service before, during and after the war with Spain won from President McKinley this econium: "Day absolutely never made a mistake." As an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, Mr. Day's erudition was recognized. He held high rank as a jurist. He gave credit to the rank as a jurist. He put in much hard work and useful service to his country in various capacities from 1897, when President McKinley discovered him and gave him his chance, up to the time of his death. Justice Day was one of those sons of Ohio who rose to eminence—a man of the type represented in the famous "These are my Jewels" monument in the Capitol grounds at Columbus. Politics should be upon the plane of reason, divested of passion and prejudice. An intelligent electorate should rid itself of the narrow bigotry in politics which ignorance inspires. The great needs of the motion picture, in a betterment way, are moral cleanliness and artistic merit. Too many screen productions are vericest drivel. SUPERVISION OF MINES BY THE GOVERNMENT Control of mines by the United States Government, in the matter of wages for miners, and cost of coal to consumers, also in the matter of keeping the mines in operation, probably will be proposed energetically at the next session of Congress. President Harding, it is understood, will press upon the national SUPERVISION OF MINES BY THE GOVERNMENT Control of mines by the United States Government, in the matter of wages for miners, and cost of coal to consumers, also in the matter of keeping the mines in operation, probably will be proposed energetically at the next session of Congress. President Harding, it is understood, will press upon the national lawmakers the enactment of some form of supervisional legislation which would provide for the operation of mines without long and disastrous suspensions in industrial disputes between miners and operators; which would fix marketing conditions and establish wage scale and provide compensation for mine owners. The exact form this projected legislation will take can not be forecast at this time. But some reformative measures doubtless will be considered favorably and it reasonably may be expected that some practicable advance will be made toward solving the vexing problem of the mines and toward protecting the public against disastrous and frequent clashes between miners and mine operators. Canada is exporting more flour than ever before. Our Lady of the Snows is becoming the world's housekeeper in a way. California's growth is constant and substantial, and of that wholesome kind which augurs glorious things for the future of the commonwealth. THEATER PATRONAGE IS HUGE HERE More than 200,000,000 admissions to moving-picture shows and other places of amusement in Southern California each year are indicated by official report of Internal Revenue Collector Rex B. Goodcell, at Los Angeles. This enormous patronage comes from a population estimated at between 2,000,000 and 3,000,000. This shows the general custom of attending theaters frequently. It indicates that the theater is frequented by more persons more often than any other place of diversion. This stupendous patronage by the masses of the people throws upon the theater—the motion-picture house and the legitimate stage—a tremendous moral responsibility. For the quality of amusement given the people is of the utmost importance because of its moral effect upon the public. The fact that the number attending theaters is so vast, and that patronage of theaters is so constant, justifies the efforts that are made to keep motion pictures and stage productions morally clean, and wholesome. The motion picture is the sole means of diversion of great numbers of the people. Hence the imperative need of keeping the photoplay free from all that would shock, demoralize and offend the refined taste of the community.

For the past twelve years Miss Wilson has devoted most of her time in behalf of community councils all over the country. She does not plan to let her business career interfere with this work. If you observe any of your friends—or worse, a member of your family—fondling a retinoscope, beware. This is the latest invention to detect any straying from the truth. Dr. W. D. Bates, of this city, argues that he can spot the slightest, whitest fib the instant it is being told just by watching how one's retina behaves. Nine-tenths of the criminals, he says, suffer from defective vision solely from the strain of not being honest. Marionettes may take the place of live actors on our stage next season if the threatened Equity strike is called. Charles Dillingham, who has just returned from gathering dramatic material in Europe has brought back with him a complete troupe of the puppets from Italy, with which he declares he can produce all of his new plays, if the worst develops. In any event, he will show them on the Amsterdam proof, in a repertoire of operas and short plays. POEMS THAT LIVE FROM THE SPANISH VILLEGRAS Is sweet in the green Spring, No gaze upon the wakening fields around; Birds in the thicket sing, Winds whisper, watters prattle from the ground. Thousand oders rise, Breasted up from blossoms of a thousand dyes. And the soft herbage seems Spread for a place of banquets and of dreams. Thou, who alone art fair, And whom alone I love, art far away, Uless thy smile be there. It makes me sad to see the etrh It's no trick, t' git wives t' cut out sugar, fer what they're really workin' toward is t' cut out all food if they kin drive t' men folks t' eat downtown.

SATURDAY POEMS THAT LIVE FROM THE SPANISH VILLEGRAS This sweet in the green Spring, To gaze upon the wakening fields around; Birds in the thicket sing, Finds whisper, watters prattle from the ground. Thousand oders rise, Breasted up from blossoms of a thousand dyes. Shadowy and close, and cool, The pine and poplar keep their quiet nook; Forever fresh and full, Lines at their feet the thirst witting brook; And the soft herbage seems Spread for a place of banquets and of dreams. Thou, who alone art fair, And whom alone I, love, art far away, Uless thy smile be there. It makes me sad to see the etrth so gay; I care not if the train Of leaves, and flowers, and zyphrs go again.

PARAGRAPHS Another good frontispiece for a history would be a portrait of a deficit. No man ever is as good as his wife thinks him or as bad as the neighbors think him. The country feels an enormous lot of pride in the Leviathan, but that probably won't pay the running expenses. The moderns didn't invent grafting. It was employed in the old days to start numerous family trees. Frogs are lucky chaps. They have the greenbacks, and their hops afford a kick. Canada wants reciprocity now. It is strange what a friendly feeling a little flow of liquor will generate. Fame is fleeting, and two weeks after the building is up very few people can remember who laid-the corner stone. About the only difference is that the smaller towns talk about gardens and the price of sugar instead of prohibition. Of course the amount prescribed should be left to the doctor's discretion. It takes a lot more to make some men feel that way. SUNSHINE PELLETS BY DR. W. F. THOMSON Quinine, drainage, Window screen; All knock ague On the bean. Consider the habit, how it grows. Cows that supply milk for babies should be tuberculin tested. Every morphine bottle should be labeled: "Who enters here leaves hope behind." With a hookworm or two And a hound or so, Man wants but little Here below. An oplate has its place;—that place being in the hands of the conservative physician. To find the communicability of malaria, multiply the number of mosquitoes by the number of unscreened windows. Sending children into camps, without proper protection against camp diseases, is disregarding danger.

With the race problem moving North and the South bidding for alien labor, sectionalism may be said to be a dead issue.

When youngsters spend two weeks in the woods, then two months in bed with some fever, their vacations have not been profitable. Before an army strikes camp, sanitary squads have removed all dangers from the camp site. Civilians on the other hand, prefer to gamble with mosquitoes and doubtful water.
